Another way to make a little extra cash for our Disney funds

[carmie3377]

Also, check your balances. My balance did not move with the last 7 videos approved (all pets/kids/sports). My earnings page states 60/43. However, when I count the number of approved videos, I have 67. I then clicked on the "43" to show which items I was paid bonus on and none of the last 7 are there, so my balance is not reflecting my last $70.00. UGH!

DH is missing one too! I've emailed them for him too.

So everyone, PLEASE CHECK YOUR BALANCES!!!

I am about ready to quit expo.

I was finally able to upload one travel video today. When I did and I previewed it, it is out of sync in the preview.

However, it is not out of sync on my iMac at home. The problem is with them, I assume, and I have not had any answers back in a few days from my questions emailed to them.

If I am going to spend my free time making videos (which started out as fun) only to be rejected because they can't get their acts together, I'm going to quit. What is the point?

Ok went into DH account to check his balance and all is well there, however, in viewing the videos approved I noticed one of his sporting goods items was moved to clothing, so I have to email them about that only the stupid site wont let me back in. Keep a very close eye on your categories as they seem to be moving them around.

I had the same problem too. They were fine when I viewed them on my computer, but were out of sync after upload. They told me it was a 'codec' problem. I switched conversion programs and no problems so far (knock on wood)

Any news on how September is going to be? I can't seem to find anything on the Expo site. Surprise, Surprise. They are very unorganized.

Expo won't let the cat out of the bag until Sept 1.
We wait on baited breath pulling our hair out until then.

Just and FYI

I was able to get 8 videos uploaded in the last hour, so the site looks to be working again. And those were the same videos they said were too big all yesterday and for most of today.

it was something on their end.

OK- Just want to make sure that I understand paypal-

I need to upgrade to a preimer account to get more then $500 into my account per month? I'm expecting $984.00 for this month's work to be deposted into my PP in September.

There is no fee from PP when I get paid from expo? even though it says that I get charged for echeck payments among other payments- why doesn't PP fee us for Expotv??

I don't use a conversion program, and my other videos are in sync. And he;s the weird thing: one video that previewed out of sync now previews in sync.

! Ay yi yi!

Slightly worried here ...anyone else seeing odd things on Expo TV? Like once last week I clicked on videos and actually got someone else's pending video page...they had been busy but it definately wasn't mine. Today, I clicked on videos to see when I had uploads the last 5 (two were approved but I have 5 more that are still pending)...and they aren't there!

I was just trying to get in and check on my stuff and this was happening. I got to my profile home page, clicked videos got someone else all together! Clicked profile and got yet ANOTHER person! Looked at my husbands,clicked on video and got yet ANOTHER person! Cue Twilight Zone music........something is kinda weird!

We have a premier acct with paypal. We received a total of 940 last month and withdrew it with no fees whatsoever. You shouldn't have a problem. I actually called paypal to get it straight and they told us that we already had a premier account and the only thing we needed to do was to go on the site and lift our withdrawal amount so we could get it all ouit.

I had odd things happen this morning too. Not only was I directed into other profiles but when I went to check how much I was paid for the 3 approvals from last night and it kept taking me to the log in page.

 

[brivers222]

Its like my IT at work... they fix one thing (don't really investigate the fix they are putting in place) and it brings down another aspect of the company.

Seems that the fix they used to solve the uploading issue (perhaps a new smart chip in the robot to realize 7.6 was SMALLER than 50) caused the profile pages to be all screwy.

its like roulette, you keep hitting refreash and you keep getting a new members profile.

Through all this mess, can anyone actually view their earnings? I have been getting other peoples' profiles now off and on all month, but now, it's ALL the time. And when I click on earnings, it takes me back to the sign on page. That concerns me because yesterday, the last 7 they approved they didn't pay me for and they didn't pay DH for one of his.

 

[PatriciaH]

I was getting other people's profiles all month too. Not just lately.

 

[carmie3377]

I was taken to some guys profile and he has only 7 videos but over 1000 views! Another guy 9 videos with almost 3000 views! And these aren't interesting things, they have like calculators, ink pens, razors! There's a girls that has over 1700 views on Rice Krispies, with NO FRIENDS ?!?!?! These people must be watching their own videos! I would think they would notice something so obvious. I think it's okay to watch your friends videos and if you want watch your own a couple of times (although I haven't done so), but 1700 times on Rice Krispies and 100s of views on razors and ink pens.

Not sure, but I think some of these people have links to their reviews on their my space accounts. That might account for some of the inflated views.

I have been taken to other people's profiles all month long too. The search is messed up as well. It keeps putting in bogus searches I did not enter... and defaulting to a search for Shrek 2.

Through all this mess, can anyone actually view their earnings?

No, I can't see the earnings. I can see overall earnings though.

I cant even get in today. I was going to upload a couple more and just keep getting timed out. Oh well, not really in the mood for expo today anyway.

 

[Handbag Lady]

I can't even get the site to load today. I have two more $10 to upload and I'm done for August. I miscounted and I will have submitted a total of 43 $10 reviews, one of which was rejected. (I thought I hit the 50 mark).

I will have to really think about if I want to continue. It depends on what the $10/$5/$2 deals are for September. I spend a lot of time on travel reviews (I actually enjoy doing them) so if they dip below $10, I don't think I will do them any longer.

I did, however, make a review of Madame Tussauds Las Vegas that totally cracked me up, so at least I'm not THAT mad any more!

UPDATE: It's back on!!!

I dunno. I could say that if everything eventually goes to $2 each, I may lose interest once the fall holiday season is upon us and there is not enough time for reviews. Way too much time spent for $200 per month. Now if they keep some things at $5 and $10, well that is a different story... or at least until we run out of those items!

I must say, when I have time to actually view the videos, I find the site very helpful as far as the different products that are out there. Boy, but their forum is so very user unfriendly. I dread checking it out when I run into problems. Too bad more people don't use the DIS type of message board. One of the best around!
